There were 124 students in the class. Teaching a large class is not for everyone, but if you are so inclined, it can be a rewarding experience provided you pay […]

I agree, somewhere in the process they get lost, lose a denominator or something. Amazing how much trouble not being fluent in fraction algebra can cause over and over again in different topics.

That is a great observation. In fact, a student wrote on her test that she had difficulty figuring out when to use product rule versus chain rule. I will add a segment to my homeworks and tests […]

Thanks for sharing. It will motivate students to read over the material and get a head start. Even if all the students don’t do it, […]

Looks like I can put together a post every couple of weeks, instead of every week…
